5.0

This book honestly made me wish I came out in college. I wish I had the sense of community that Sav had. The Queer conversations, Queer experiences, Queer love. It made me kinda sad honestly I didn’t get to live that in college. 

That said, I loved this book. For it to make me yearn for a past I never had says a lot about the friendship and community I felt while reading this. 

The characters were lovable. The plot was enjoyable. The character arc was really good. 

I can’t pinpoint it, but something is keeping this from being a 5-star read for me. I might change my mind and adjust my rating, though. 

Edit: yeah, I love it. Changing to 5 stars. It’s so fuckin good.
